Members Dave_01 Posted March 28, 2015 Members Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'm not sure a revival will be successful, but one thing in its favor is that the creator of the original will be back as the e.p. and writer. Before I read that part of the article linked in the 1st post, my initial thought was, "Well, Cynthia Cidre is looking for work now that she's killed the Dallas revival. Maybe she'll take on Coach next and have Hayden, Luther and Dauber reunite to fight a Mexican drug cartel." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted March 28, 2015 Members Share Posted March 28, 2015 This further makes me secure in my belief that this was simply a case of retooling an existing idea to connect it to a previous series. It's been done before, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 28, 2015 Members Share Posted March 28, 2015 Barry Kemp? That DOES make me feel better. I could see him handle any absence of SF tastefully on camera, at least. That said, I would probably watch that Mexican drug cartel idea in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted March 28, 2015 Members Share Posted March 28, 2015 Shelley seems to be doing well the last time I saw her. She recently did and interview on a cruise ship that has been uploaded to youtube and was involved in the Annette Funicello profile that was done about Annette's health before she passed. Shelley still has the pink hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 29, 2015 Members Share Posted March 29, 2015 All of this talk of Shelley's health makes me think of her aunt as Maude's college buddy who suffered a stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted March 29, 2015 Members Share Posted March 29, 2015 I remember Shelley's Aunt Nanette Fabray playing in an episode of Love Boat where she became pregnant again late in life (at 59). I laughed so hard. Barry Nelson played her husband in the episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 29, 2015 Members Share Posted March 29, 2015 Nanette Fabray also played her mom on Coach. I remember her from the episode where Hayden and Christine tried to get married at her childhood home in Kentucky, where Christine wound up breaking her leg. It took until the end of the season for them to actually have their wedding, but since the real ceremony was just them on the side of the road in the woods with the priest (whose car had stalled), I always wondered if it was legal, since they didn't have any witnesses. It's a nitpicky thing to wonder about, but it's always kind of bugged me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 7, 2015 Members Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yup, they had three weddings in the 1992-93 season (all during sweeps periods)!! The one in the woods where the steeple fell off the old, dilapidated chapel was the charm. My feeling was that they had private vows taken right then and the next morning the preacher came and they had a ceremony with their friends. One of my favorite characters was Dauber's steady - the mouthy, brash and funny Coach Judy (Pam Stone). I also loved the recurring bits played by Beth Grant as the deadpan Martha (she usually was a maid, but in the wedding in the woods episode she was an organist). Years ago, I read that the theme song was recorded by an actual college marching band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 7, 2015 Members Share Posted April 7, 2015 By the way, the episode with Luther spilling the grape juice on Christine's white carpet is still one of the funniest sitcom episodes ever made. I still lose it after all these years!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted April 7, 2015 Members Share Posted April 7, 2015 Never seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted April 8, 2015 Members Share Posted April 8, 2015 They could easily divorce them and have Hayden single and Christine can pop up here and there. I wouldn't expect any of the main cast as regularly, but they should definitely be used here and there. When will these shows learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 8, 2015 Members Share Posted April 8, 2015 YRBB, the name of the episode is "The Homewreckers" and aired in the show's second season (which is on DVD). Definitely try to watch it if you can - it is hilarious. Another funny episode - I don't remember the title or which season it aired - was when Hayden and Christine are hired to make a coffee commercial together and Hayden blows every single take. The harried, frazzled director of the commercial is played by none other than Lane Davies (Mason Capwell of SB)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted April 8, 2015 Members Share Posted April 8, 2015 That was season 5! One of my favorite episodes! It's called "The Commercial", and it was actually a two-parter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted April 8, 2015 Members Share Posted April 8, 2015 I LOVED Dauber and Judy together, and how she always called him by his real name Michael. But I HATE that when PS left the show, they had Judy cheat on Dauber. Blech, no. Here's a version of the theme song being rerecorded by Iowa State's marching band, after they won a contest to rerecord the theme: Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted April 8, 2015 Members Share Posted April 8, 2015 I would love if Christine popped up every once in awhile (although I think SF is retired now so that's unlikely), but I just don't want them to be divorced. The childhood shipper in me simply couldn't take it. Just have him mention her in scenes/call her offscreen and I'll be fine. I love that episode too! And the one where Luther and Hayden accidentally set Christine's wedding dress on fire and then try to paint it white afterwards . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
